Measurement of urinary biomarkers in a case of tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome during glucocorticoid treatment.
Article in CEN case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) is a rare syndrome in which idiopathic interstitial nephritis coexists with chronic recurrent uveitis. This syndrome often represents systemic disorders such as arthralgia, rash, prolonged fever, anaemia and ocular symptoms that require medication including glucocorticoid administration. Recently, novel urinary biomarkers, such as kidney injury molecule-1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and liver-type fatty acid-binding protein, were shown to be associated with tubulointerstitial damage and were elevated in interstitial nephritis. We evaluated these urinary biomarkers in a case of TINU syndrome before and during treatment and found that their levels were elevated at onset and decreased during treatment, especially NGAL. We conclude that these urinary biomarkers are useful to evaluate and predict prognosis in interstitial nephritis.
